00:04:20
will vote this Wednesday in presidential
election in which President gang gob is
00:04:25
seek seek and find a time fill Yanga Lol
the executive director of NY may be
00:04:31
a writes the country's largest human rights
organization says while president is
00:04:36
expected to win re-election his margin
of victory will likely be smaller due to
00:04:41
voter discontent with the economy some
Namibians also concerned about what they say
00:04:48
is the government's failure to fight
corruption and I may be as Fisheries Minister
00:04:53
Bernard Esol was released Sunday after
00:04:56
a high court judge ruled that they won't
follow his arrest was inviolate he was
00:05:01
a risk to start the day for legit involvement
in awarding fishing licenses to Islam
00:05:07
they can fund him in return for bribes
you're not alone says the prosecutors have
00:05:12
to get another water into because there
is enough evidence today allegations
00:05:16
against the minister I can confirm what
you just said that the Minister of
00:05:22
fisheries one of these. Years
but. The big case in the
00:05:28
Made in the I chord to secure his release
for reasons that there were times for you
00:05:35
. 8 proved to be invited the fact that the
court says that they want to evaluate
00:05:42
what is the prosecution going to do or
they have to or to end Valley to Iran for
00:05:47
his arrest they flap these there are indeed
prima fascia evidence that many stars
00:05:54
and others use not arrowed there is another
may need. 3 other persons who were also
00:06:01
involved there is pretty much every day
that they are indeed guilty bribery in the
00:06:08
fishing industry of course the presidential
election the 27th which is on Wednesday
00:06:15
telephones the phone but I love her because
I think one of the greatest. Is the aim
00:06:18
of this current government is that of
corruption their government they know maybe
00:06:23
it was being corrupt
it's not only now it's
00:06:26
a culture you have heard similar things
big in you haven't heard about similar
00:06:33
things inside Africa States capture the
same Yeah right in America it did not start
00:06:39
yesterday or with this current government
is started way back but said 40
00:06:46
to 50 years ago the president
President be challenge by think about
00:06:53
different candidates what the chances
here that any of these can make
00:06:58
a dent do you think that is the election
that president is going to win and I say
00:07:04
a foregone conclusion and I end up is
going to win it the question is To what
00:07:09
extent but yeah definitely going to win it
the human rights monitoring it advocacy
00:07:15
organization. This time around while of
course they're already part of my get the
00:07:21
less the same stage before because people
are in this country I really angry
00:07:27
affairs about corruption on their
part of the governing party and
00:07:34
they are seemingly no turning to what
opposition political parties they think is
00:07:40
the basis for us they really think that all
those flop or you're certainly going to
00:07:45
win they are going to win with much reduced

00:09:48
too that was clipping in
00:09:49
a different room they dragged to.
The most affected areas. Which
00:09:58
took heavy casualties from the tragedy
it was difficult call in to Commissioner

Apolo appeals to and wishes to offer to

00:11:19
today's Monday Nov 25th You're listening
to daybreak Africa on the Voice of America
00:11:25
James about a Washington
daybreak Africa Time 14 and
00:11:28
a half minutes past the hour Zimbabwe's
63 year old vice president Constantine
00:11:33
returned home on Saturday healthier than
when he left 4 months ago for medical
00:11:39
treatment in China he arrived in a charter
Chinese play and was met on arrival at
00:11:44
a Robert Gibbs Mugabe International Airport
by the Chinese deputy ambassador to
00:11:49
Zimbabwe as well as members of the
one guy's family the arrival sparked
00:11:54
a romance of
00:11:55
a split between President Amerson Gaga and
his vice president. Personally of the
00:12:01
opposition Movement for Democratic Change
if you have to get out of the underworld
00:12:06
so that their money. Does not make sense.
00:12:14
Or. To end up. And you suddenly do you
or I know this is sin but when do
00:12:21
we know that Brigham got to us think if
we said we give their call then we must
00:12:26
report to the airport and we're going to
be singing and praising that you've done
00:12:29
so this time around the drums
working that the last one would be
00:12:33
a member as we get to the bottom go be
00:12:35
a board meeting to see if we need to
leave. But some of them believe you know
00:12:40
members not being that didn't do kind of
fun thing which is one of the important
00:12:44
he's only good times bad for the president
and the vice president that's what's
00:12:49
true because doing that is devices in
the Republic and you can it is the big
00:12:53
concern is that you don't need to bring
that to the incumbent president and he will
00:12:58
get because other people or these give you
what you want so too I've got his looks
00:13:03
and what do they that is if you just
write. What could be the fight on about me
00:13:10
it's. Not just what it gives to will they
you teach you when you go into the army
00:13:16
do
00:13:16
a little bit from during the impeachment
time don't want to be as easy fix that the
00:13:21
money Israel will not go to the
local got beat them up and make
00:13:25
a deal between now and I'm going to end
it all I don't think that will that was
00:13:30
allowed to be if it is the only of the
diplomacy that really given to you in going
00:13:36
to go to the impeachment that that do not
want to bring what we have to expect
00:13:40
families from time to be
00:13:42
a full functioning in between the
factions to be dark come on those days
00:13:46
chairperson of the opposition Movement for
Democratic Change led by Nelson Chamisa
00:13:51
she spoke from our Bull's-Eye while you
with gets to be of us then Bob was service
00:13:56
but from one Zimbabwe as an M.P.'s law may
come on occasion pomo says speculations
00:14:02
of
00:14:02
a split between President I'm assuming Gaga
and his vice president Constantino Towanda
00:14:08
misleading we're going to work hard to
raise God's word is more. Supple crumpled
00:14:14
we're going to become Greece when we were
going through the long term. I don't
00:14:18
think somebody got to go to school.
Because I. Think that what purpose there
00:14:25
was no one and there
could be. One. And the
00:14:32
2nd the usual. Issues like. Blood
between the brick and the.
00:14:40
So what do we know God on the beat
really good can it do when it comes.
00:14:49
To protocol people just there
are people that won't go agree.
00:14:56
To it but big wanted to give you
00:14:57
a little you know the way the I voted
wasn't conducted the damn thing the message
00:15:03
window was open and welcomed by the Deby
detainees humbucker that was the bubble
00:15:08
didn't do them that's when it changed
what I'm saying to your flight school
00:15:13
championed by Christians choices that you
want to cram the way value you want to be
00:15:18
will come home and point was the secret
to get injured country out of the
00:15:24
country when there was no true way you
could get to each point to reason that we
00:15:30
just wanted to dig into this kind of movie
we've got so much good for the. People
00:15:35
of business any as being the new Did you
know because if we didn't have such
00:15:38
a window and none of the leading none of
the of who's doing any kind of friction
00:15:43
one of those like poor pretty. Wants
to see the country being to fight and
00:15:50
fight Israel is what impact this one thing
that can do you see history here too
00:15:57
between all of
00:15:59
a lot of contrivance very interesting and
it's but I don't think the big thing that
00:16:04
can do say thank God. We
picked up what does. Go up.
00:16:13
By. Molecule Komo is a form of Zanu p.f.

The Pentagon says Navy secretary Richard
Spencer submitted his resignation at the
00:28:22
request of the French secretary Marc
aspart who it says had lost trust and
00:28:26
confidence in Spencer because of
00:28:28
a lack of candor over conversations with
the White House involving the handling of

Thursday that he would not let the Navy

00:29:05
well voters came out in droves in
Hong Kong's local elections with
00:29:09
a record 71 percent of the city's $4100000.00
registered voters casting balance
00:29:15
Sunday interest was high in the normally
low profile district council elections
00:29:20
pro-democracy protests have continued even
as they've become increasingly violent
00:29:26
the main complain about elections was long
lines some which extended out of polling
00:29:30
stations 4 blocks joining us from Hong
Kong is the awakened correspondent Bill
00:29:35
Gallo Bill I understand some of the results
have already come in the media really
00:29:40
clear that voting was very popular. But
it wasn't exactly clear what that large
00:29:47
turnout with mean. And we're receiving
some initial results that pro-democracy
00:29:52
forces appear at it right message when the
initial results showed that most every
00:29:58
Kurd if I think at it had run with winning
that trend had continued not quite as
00:30:04
decisive but as we think 275 I believe
pro-democracy candidate when compared to
00:30:10
about 40 probably stand it no doubt right
now unquestionably voters have been.
00:30:17
Message both to Beijing and to the
government that things are not Ok they want
00:30:21
change will it actually make
00:30:23
a difference will Hong Kong have the ability
to actually make those changes that
00:30:29
democracy seekers are looking for so that's
the huge question here actually because
00:30:33
these elections were for district council
members which are largely powerless these
00:30:38
are basically the local politicians who
decide things they take complaints about
00:30:43
excess of noise in the neighborhood or the
location of bus stops things like that
00:30:47
they have no power to pass legislation the
main reason the vote was important is
00:30:51
that it was the 1st chance for Hong
Kong or east of the since the massive
00:30:55
pro-democracy antigovernment protests
that they can play now there is
00:30:59
a bit more nuance to this and that in Hong
Kong squads I democratic system. Also
00:31:05
have the ability to choose Hong Kong's
chief executive which is not directly
00:31:10
elected they also have the ability to run
and Legislative Council elections which
00:31:16
that's the legislature here that is only
half chosen directly by voters so it's
00:31:20
complicated it could have implications
for the future as it relates to the
00:31:24
political dynamic here but immediately no
nothing has changed the primary value in
00:31:29
that is that it's
00:31:30
a big message to Beijing whether or not
they listen the problem and less likely
00:31:35
than anything at this point you know we
haven't really seen much response from
00:31:38
Beijing so far there have been state media
commentators in the mainland suggest
00:31:43
that there was Western interference that
all the media had come here and talk to
00:31:46
pro-democracy forces and sort of Gen that
banned the Chinese sentiment which is an
00:31:51
interesting strategy to take but if you
spend 10 minutes here you'll find that
00:31:55
there is widespread anti-government
sentiment it's not hard to find.
00:32:04
And speaking of elections while 59 other
countries of elected female heads of state
00:32:09
the United States has yet to shatter what
former Democratic nominee for president
00:32:14
Hillary Clinton called the highest hardest.
Glass Ceiling Clinton's last President
00:32:19
Donald Trump in 2016 May have blazed
00:32:22
a trail for 5 female candidates currently
running for president in 2020 but his
00:32:27
video is Brian Patton reports
it also reinforced doubts that
00:32:31
a woman can be elected to the nation's
highest office. Looking back at her 2 girls
00:32:37
and 16 I like the feel of the Hillary Clinton
recently said gender stereotypes and
00:32:43
sexism contributed to her loss and there
have been slights against women and all
00:32:50
kinds of sexism and misogyny so none of
this is new treatment of women from calling
00:32:55
Clinton and nasty woman to regularly
critiquing women on their physical appearance
00:33:00
combined with his anti-abortion view
dish on nominees in racially divisive
00:33:05
pronouncements to help
00:33:07
a record number of women to run in the last
few midterm congressional elections now
00:33:13
multiple women are one for the 2020
Democratic presidential nomination the
00:33:18
contenders include 3 u.s.
00:33:20
Senators Elizabeth Warren from Massachusetts
California's Kaamelott Harris and Amy
00:33:26
club
00:33:26
a chart of Minnesota all face and electability
hurdle specific to their gender we
00:33:32
have a certain archetype for president in
this country it is it has as always been
00:33:36
a man we think of leadership and
particularly presidential leadership in
00:33:41
a certain way and women don't fit into that
yet female Democratic candidates can be
00:33:49
particularly vulnerable to the gender
bias attacks that cast them as overly
00:33:54
compassionate and not just talking to men
in advocating causes like expanded health
00:33:59
care for the poor that probably reinforces
existing views of the Democratic Party
00:34:05
when sometimes to win that majority you
need to cut against the stereotype
00:34:11
a little bit after the Clinton lost
some wonder if a male Democrat stands
00:34:15
a better chance of winning over. Or Americans
who voted for Trump and pulling out
00:34:19
of $918.00 but today's Democratic candidates
reject any notion that now is not
00:34:25
their times putting more women in positions
of power leads to progress and it's not
00:34:32
always easy but you don't doubt what
you don't fight for another Democratic
00:34:37
contender former Vice President Joe Biden
recently criticized Elizabeth Warren as
00:34:42
angry and on yielding thing
to warn responded in
00:34:45
a campaign e-mail saying I'm angry and I
own and the women today's women candidates
00:34:50
are not shy about calling out perceived
Texas attacks or double standards in how
00:34:56
they are perturb I think it's opening
everyone's eyes to hold on is that the way I
00:35:00
would treat
00:35:00
a male candidate and that's good for all
of us recent elections indicate growing
00:35:05
female support for Democrats in polls show
and erosion of support for Trump among
00:35:10
women women will play
00:35:11
a critical role in the outcome of
the 2020 election including whether
00:35:16

00:37:11
People in Israel of expressed mixed reactions
to the news that British are British
00:37:16
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel
has been indicted on corruption charges
00:37:21
his supporters believe the charges are
fabricated and his opponents are calling for
00:37:26
his resignation Netanyahu is vowing to
fight back but it's not clear how long he
00:37:31
can hold on to power after the
indictment. Reports the embattled
00:37:38
prime minister was defiant after the
Israel's attorney general announced the
00:37:42
indictment Thursday could have been avoided
in this evening we are witnessing an
00:37:47
attempted coup against the prime minister
with false charges and they contaminated
00:37:52
and then Densher this investigation process
Netanyahu has been indicted on charges
00:37:56
of bribery fraud and breach of trust in
3 long running corruption cases he's
00:38:01
seeking to convince his supporters that
the country's entire political system is
00:38:06
affected by corruption and political bias
when it was overthrown if you will invent
00:38:12
I think you need to be blind in order not
to see that something wrong is going on
00:38:16
among the police. Investigators and the
prosecution of Netanyahu support their scam
00:38:20
out to protest the charges following the
announcement that I want to let you look
00:38:24
at the King to tell Netanyahu you will never
March alone and I came to say that all
00:38:28
of the fabricators of this ridiculous and
abominable coup within it won't succeed
00:38:32
you simply won't succeed but many Israelis
say it is time for Netanyahu to resign
00:38:38
it is on the road to this one finger both
the prime minister was continuing with
00:38:43
this while being indicted for 6. Years
of whom he will stand trial for
00:38:50
how he broke the law and also
good. Management countries to
00:38:57
the state of Israel the longest serving
prime minister in Israel's history
00:39:02
Netanyahu has been unable to form
00:39:04
a ruling coalition after 2 back to back
elections this year he's indictment adds to
00:39:10
the concern about the state of the country's
leadership I am very disappointed that
00:39:14
for a whole year we don't have
00:39:15
a government. It's disappointing I don't
know what will be and I can see that it's
00:39:22
not elections will lead to results that
are very different. It's a little bit of
00:39:28
a mess but we'll see this is a
democracy and eventually things have
00:39:32
a nature of our resolve in themselves 1st
this announcement further complicates
00:39:37
he's arounds pattern lies political
system in which neither Netanyahu nor his
00:39:42
closest rival banning guns
has been able to form
00:39:46
a government following Israel's
2nd election in September
00:39:50
a 3rd election could be held
later this year as lot it's
00:39:54
a hoax the oh no swashing done.
00:40:01
U.s.
00:40:01
House of Representatives passed legislation
last week to ban the use of you of shark
00:40:06
fin trade and now awaits final passage
in the Senate the demand for shark fin
00:40:12
incentivizes shark finning the cruel
and wasteful practice of remove. Being
00:40:17
a shark spins at feet and throwing it
back overboard where it drowns starves to
00:40:22
death or is eaten alive
by other fish and just
00:40:25
a rhino an elephant populations have
declined due to the demand from their horns
00:40:29
and tasks the sharks in trade is jeopardizing
the continued survival of many shark
00:40:34
populations Joining us to talk about this
just passed legislation in the House of
00:40:39
Representatives was Whitney Webber campaign
director with Oceana nonprofit ocean
00:40:44
provide protection organization thanks
for being with us so it sounds like the
00:40:48
shark fin trade is moved a step
closer to being banned it is
00:40:52
a major victory basically it gets the u.s.
00:40:55
Out of the shark fin trade and the problem
with this trade is that. The fins from
00:41:02
up to $73000000.00 sharks and up in
this horrific trade every year and is
00:41:09
driving a practice known as sinning which
is the removal of the shark's fin aboard
00:41:14
a vessel and then dumping the rest of
the body back into the ocean so just
00:41:17
retaining the fins which is just decimating
shark populations around the world and
00:41:21
obviously just a cruel and
inhumane practice so the u.s.
00:41:25
Has actually banned finning but unfortunately
we still import and export thins with
00:41:30
other countries many of which do not have
similar protections for sharks in place
00:41:36
and so we end up with you know these fin
fish in our marketplace and are none the
00:41:42
wiser for it so we really want to close
that loophole and just say no to shark fins
00:41:48
are you saying that this is done to
these animals while they're still alive
00:41:52
absolutely yes it's horrible why well the
food is often the most valuable part of
00:41:58
the shark it's used in
a soup it's considered
00:42:01
a delicacy in some countries
we can go for up to $100.00
00:42:05
a ball and so the rest of the shark is often
not as valuable and they want to save
00:42:09
space for the valuable parts so they just
dump the body back into the ocean and
00:42:14
they they die a very slow painful
awful. Death also saw the u.s.
00:42:19
Really needs to be
00:42:20
a leader in this and close our doors to the
to the trade completely We were hoping
00:42:25
to be the 1st g.
00:42:26
20 country to do so Canada beat us to
it earlier this year but when the u.s.
00:42:30
Steps up to lead on issues like this other
countries follow and are really hoping
00:42:34
to make it happen what countries are seeing
the most demand for this product it's
00:42:38
primarily out of Hong Kong China those
areas but again we are still you know
00:42:44
a participant in the fin trade we actually
have 12 states that have banned it at
00:42:49
the state level which is fantastic
but because we don't have
00:42:52
a federal ban the fence can still be shipped
through interstate commerce so we're
00:42:57
we're seeing states like California that
had bans for years but they're still able
00:43:01
to get such shipments of Finn's through
their ports on to other countries or what
00:43:05
have you and so that's problem number one
problem number 2 is that 11 state closes
00:43:11
its door to this marketplace the state
next door typically pops up with
00:43:14
a whole new shocks in market that they
didn't have before so we just need
00:43:18
a blanket federal dam Why do why does the
world need sharks why does it matter that
00:43:23
millions of sharks are on the decline with
sharks are important in their own right
00:43:29
because they've been here before the
dinosaur and we don't want to be at any part
00:43:33
in in their rapid rapid decline which we
are certainly contributing to but they are
00:43:38
also apex predators and so they really are
important for ocean ecosystems in that
00:43:42
they manage the food web so once you take
out an apex predator you just have chaos
00:43:47
and the food chain below you and then
finally you know it is also kind of an
00:43:51
economic argument and we are seeing
states like Florida that have
00:43:55
a huge diving industry that will really be
impacted by lower shark populations and
00:44:01
that we have folks that go out in this
country and just want to see sharks they go
00:44:05
shark diving in Florida alone we actually
looked at this and shark diving not you
00:44:10
know snorkeling or I want to see
00:44:11
a turtle they want to go shark diving those
folks are driving 221 $1000000.00. A
00:44:17
direct expenditures into Florida every
year he talked about the hotel restaurant
00:44:21
and everything in their act well looking
at $377000000.00 when you compare that to
00:44:26
our national export 2016
that number is $850000.00
00:44:33
total for the u.s.
00:44:34
No you've got these people that rely on
going out in the water and seen sharks and
00:44:39
diving with sharks they're really seeing
00:44:42
a significant difference these days than
we used to be seeing in the water here
00:44:46

Next an editorial reflecting the views
of the United States government for more
00:53:56
than half a century since its
founding in 1961 the u.s.
00:54:00
Agency for International Development or USA
id fulfilled its mission by sending to
00:54:05
developing countries material assistance
like food and medicine when u.s.
00:54:10
a Idea was created 3 out of every $4.00
that went from America to the developing
00:54:15
world will government money said USA id
administrator Mark Green these days that
00:54:20
number is less than one out of every
$10.00 global aid needs are many and
00:54:26
government funding will never be enough
said USA id deputy administrator Bonnie
00:54:31
Glick. So we have to work with the
private sector what we can do from
00:54:35
a government perspective is offer seed
capital that then gets catalyzed by
00:54:39
investors said Deputy Administrator Glick
yet there is more to it than just funding
00:54:45
we recognize that we do not have
00:54:46
a monopoly on the good solutions said Miss
Glick there are great solutions that are
00:54:50
generated everywhere on earth Take for
example the 5 year securing water for food
00:54:56
or swith and powering agriculture energy
grand challenges which enrolled 80
00:55:01
innovators from war than 40 countries to
develop more food with less water and use
00:55:06
renewable energy more efficiently the swift
innovators have helped 6300000 farmers
00:55:12
and their families produced nearly
$6000000.00 tons of food they leveraged more
00:55:17
than $20000000.00 in additional funding
through more than $300.00 partnerships
00:55:22
which helped reduce the need for future
donor assistance for these innovations they
00:55:27
have also generated 6 point $5000000.00 in
sales demonstrating profitability demand
00:55:32
in the market and sustainability that was
just the 1st step in late October deputy
00:55:38
administrator Glick announced that us
00:55:40
a id and his partners the Swedish International
Development Cooperation Agency and
00:55:45
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the
Kingdom of the Netherlands will dedicate
00:55:49
$35000000.00 to kick off the water and
energy for food challenge this initiative
00:55:55
a logical experientially of the 2 earlier
challenges will increase the stain of
00:56:00
agriculture food security and climate
resilience in developing countries and
00:56:04
emerging markets it will focus on the
poor and women by investing in small
00:56:09
enterprise we expect that that capital
will increase that will crowd fund and
00:56:14
investment capital in at around $25000000.00
And then in the subsequent years it
00:56:20
will scale up the deputy administrator Glick
we're going to encourage organizations
00:56:25
individuals to submit to us concept
papers about how you would visualize

00:11:25
James about a Washington
daybreak Africa Time 14 and
00:11:28
a half minutes past the hour Zimbabwe's
63 year old vice president Constantine
00:11:33
returned home on Saturday healthier than
when he left 4 months ago for medical
00:11:39
treatment in China he arrived in a charter
Chinese play and was met on arrival at
00:11:44
a Robert Gibbs Mugabe International Airport
by the Chinese deputy ambassador to
00:11:49
Zimbabwe as well as members of the
one guy's family the arrival sparked
00:11:54
a romance of
00:11:55
a split between President Amerson Gaga and
his vice president. Personally of the
00:12:01
opposition Movement for Democratic Change
if you have to get out of the underworld
00:12:06
so that their money. Does not make sense.
00:12:14
Or. To end up. And you suddenly do you
or I know this is sin but when do
00:12:21
we know that Brigham got to us think if
we said we give their call then we must
00:12:26
report to the airport and we're going to
be singing and praising that you've done
00:12:29
so this time around the drums
working that the last one would be
00:12:33
a member as we get to the bottom go be
00:12:35
a board meeting to see if we need to
leave. But some of them believe you know
00:12:40
members not being that didn't do kind of
fun thing which is one of the important
00:12:44
he's only good times bad for the president
and the vice president that's what's
00:12:49
true because doing that is devices in
the Republic and you can it is the big
00:12:53
concern is that you don't need to bring
that to the incumbent president and he will
00:12:58
get because other people or these give you
what you want so too I've got his looks
00:13:03
and what do they that is if you just
write. What could be the fight on about me
00:13:10
it's. Not just what it gives to will they
you teach you when you go into the army
00:13:16
do
00:13:16
a little bit from during the impeachment
time don't want to be as easy fix that the
00:13:21
money Israel will not go to the
local got beat them up and make
00:13:25
a deal between now and I'm going to end
it all I don't think that will that was
00:13:30
allowed to be if it is the only of the
diplomacy that really given to you in going
00:13:36
to go to the impeachment that that do not
want to bring what we have to expect
00:13:40
families from time to be
00:13:42

she spoke from our Bull's-Eye while you
with gets to be of us then Bob was service
00:13:56
but from one Zimbabwe as an M.P.'s law may
come on occasion pomo says speculations
00:14:02
of
00:14:02
a split between President I'm assuming Gaga
and his vice president Constantino Towanda
00:14:08
misleading we're going to work hard to
raise God's word is more. Supple crumpled
00:14:14
we're going to become Greece when we were
going through the long term. I don't
00:14:18
think somebody got to go to school.
Because I. Think that what purpose there
00:14:25
was no one and there
could be. One. And the
00:14:32
2nd the usual. Issues like. Blood
between the brick and the.
00:14:40
So what do we know God on the beat
really good can it do when it comes.
00:14:49
To protocol people just there
are people that won't go agree.
00:14:56

wasn't conducted the damn thing the message
00:15:03
window was open and welcomed by the Deby
detainees humbucker that was the bubble
00:15:08

what I'm saying to your flight school
00:15:13
championed by Christians choices that you
want to cram the way value you want to be
00:15:18
will come home and point was the secret
to get injured country out of the
00:15:24
country when there was no true way you
could get to each point to reason that we
00:15:30
just wanted to dig into this kind of movie
we've got so much good for the. People
00:15:35
of business any as being the new Did you
know because if we didn't have such
00:15:38
a window and none of the leading none of
the of who's doing any kind of friction
00:15:43
one of those like poor pretty. Wants
to see the country being to fight and
00:15:50
fight Israel is what impact this one thing
that can do you see history here too
00:15:57
between all of
00:15:59
a lot of contrivance very interesting and
it's but I don't think the big thing that

don't think people are going to buy it
00:27:23
they just put
00:27:24
a bunch of money and maybe they argument
is hey I've got more money than the guy in
00:27:28
the White House I don't think they're going

case of a Navy Seal facing
00:28:06
a disciplinary proceeding a.p.

Correspondent Ben Thomas reports.
00:28:18
The Pentagon says Navy secretary Richard
Spencer submitted his resignation at the
00:28:22
request of the French secretary Marc
aspart who it says had lost trust and
00:28:26
confidence in Spencer because of
00:28:28
a lack of candor over conversations with
the White House involving the handling of
00:28:32
the seal case President Trump tweeted last
Thursday that he would not let the Navy
00:28:36
take away Chief Petty Officer Edward
Gallagher's Trident pin which designates him
00:28:41
the c.e.o.
00:28:41
But had been international security form
Saturday Spencer said he did not consider
00:28:46
a tweet to be an order and it would take
00:28:48
a formal order to stop the Navy review
board which is set to meet December 2nd to
00:28:52
consider Gallagher's case Gallagher was
acquitted of murder in the 2017 stabbing
00:28:57
death of a captured Islamic
state militant in Iraq but
00:29:00
a military jury did convict him of posing
with the corpse Ben Thomas Washington
00:29:05
well voters came out in droves in
Hong Kong's local elections with
00:29:09
a record 71 percent of the city's $4100000.00
registered voters casting balance
00:29:15
Sunday interest was high in the normally
low profile district council elections
00:29:20
pro-democracy protests have continued even
as they've become increasingly violent
00:29:26
the main complain about elections was long
lines some which extended out of polling
00:29:30
stations 4 blocks joining us from Hong
Kong is the awakened correspondent Bill
00:29:35
Gallo Bill I understand some of the results
have already come in the media really
00:29:40
clear that voting was very popular. But
it wasn't exactly clear what that large
00:29:47
turnout with mean. And we're receiving
some initial results that pro-democracy
00:29:52
forces appear at it right message when the
initial results showed that most every
00:29:58
Kurd if I think at it had run with winning
that trend had continued not quite as
00:30:04
decisive but as we think 275 I believe
pro-democracy candidate when compared to
00:30:10
about 40 probably stand it no doubt right
now unquestionably voters have been.
00:30:17
Message both to Beijing and to the
government that things are not Ok they want
00:30:21
change will it actually make
00:30:23
a difference will Hong Kong have the ability
to actually make those changes that
00:30:29
democracy seekers are looking for so that's
the huge question here actually because
00:30:33
these elections were for district council
members which are largely powerless these
00:30:38
are basically the local politicians who
decide things they take complaints about
00:30:43
excess of noise in the neighborhood or the
location of bus stops things like that
00:30:47
they have no power to pass legislation the
main reason the vote was important is
00:30:51
that it was the 1st chance for Hong
Kong or east of the since the massive
00:30:55
pro-democracy antigovernment protests
that they can play now there is
00:30:59
a bit more nuance to this and that in Hong
Kong squads I democratic system. Also
00:31:05
have the ability to choose Hong Kong's
chief executive which is not directly
00:31:10
elected they also have the ability to run
and Legislative Council elections which
00:31:16
that's the legislature here that is only
half chosen directly by voters so it's
00:31:20
complicated it could have implications
for the future as it relates to the
00:31:24
political dynamic here but immediately no
nothing has changed the primary value in
00:31:29
that is that it's
00:31:30
a big message to Beijing whether or not
they listen the problem and less likely
00:31:35
than anything at this point you know we
haven't really seen much response from
00:31:38
Beijing so far there have been state media
commentators in the mainland suggest
00:31:43
that there was Western interference that
all the media had come here and talk to
00:31:46
pro-democracy forces and sort of Gen that
banned the Chinese sentiment which is an
00:31:51
interesting strategy to take but if you
spend 10 minutes here you'll find that
00:31:55
there is widespread anti-government
sentiment it's not hard to find.
00:32:04
And speaking of elections while 59 other
countries of elected female heads of state
00:32:09
the United States has yet to shatter what
former Democratic nominee for president
00:32:14
Hillary Clinton called the highest hardest.
Glass Ceiling Clinton's last President
00:32:19
Donald Trump in 2016 May have blazed
00:32:22
a trail for 5 female candidates currently
running for president in 2020 but his
00:32:27
video is Brian Patton reports
it also reinforced doubts that
00:32:31
a woman can be elected to the nation's
highest office. Looking back at her 2 girls
00:32:37
and 16 I like the feel of the Hillary Clinton
recently said gender stereotypes and
00:32:43
sexism contributed to her loss and there
have been slights against women and all
00:32:50
kinds of sexism and misogyny so none of
this is new treatment of women from calling
00:32:55
Clinton and nasty woman to regularly
critiquing women on their physical appearance
00:33:00
combined with his anti-abortion view
dish on nominees in racially divisive
00:33:05
pronouncements to help
00:33:07
a record number of women to run in the last
few midterm congressional elections now
00:33:13
multiple women are one for the 2020
Democratic presidential nomination the
00:33:18
contenders include 3 u.s.
00:33:20
Senators Elizabeth Warren from Massachusetts
California's Kaamelott Harris and Amy
00:33:26
club
00:33:26
a chart of Minnesota all face and electability
hurdle specific to their gender we
00:33:32
have a certain archetype for president in
this country it is it has as always been
00:33:36
a man we think of leadership and
particularly presidential leadership in
00:33:41
a certain way and women don't fit into that
yet female Democratic candidates can be
00:33:49
particularly vulnerable to the gender
bias attacks that cast them as overly
00:33:54
compassionate and not just talking to men
in advocating causes like expanded health
00:33:59
care for the poor that probably reinforces
existing views of the Democratic Party
00:34:05
when sometimes to win that majority you
need to cut against the stereotype
00:34:11
a little bit after the Clinton lost
some wonder if a male Democrat stands
00:34:15
a better chance of winning over. Or Americans
who voted for Trump and pulling out
00:34:19
of $918.00 but today's Democratic candidates
reject any notion that now is not
00:34:25
their times putting more women in positions
of power leads to progress and it's not
00:34:32
always easy but you don't doubt what
you don't fight for another Democratic
00:34:37
contender former Vice President Joe Biden
recently criticized Elizabeth Warren as
00:34:42
angry and on yielding thing
to warn responded in
00:34:45
a campaign e-mail saying I'm angry and I
own and the women today's women candidates
00:34:50
are not shy about calling out perceived
Texas attacks or double standards in how
00:34:56
they are perturb I think it's opening
everyone's eyes to hold on is that the way I
00:35:00
would treat
00:35:00
a male candidate and that's good for all
of us recent elections indicate growing
00:35:05
female support for Democrats in polls show
and erosion of support for Trump among
00:35:10
women women will play
00:35:11
a critical role in the outcome of
the 2020 election including whether
00:35:16
a woman finally breaks the
presidential class ceiling drawing
00:35:20

00:37:11
People in Israel of expressed mixed reactions
to the news that British are British
00:37:16
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel
has been indicted on corruption charges
00:37:21
his supporters believe the charges are
fabricated and his opponents are calling for
00:37:26
his resignation Netanyahu is vowing to
fight back but it's not clear how long he
00:37:31
can hold on to power after the
indictment. Reports the embattled
00:37:38
prime minister was defiant after the
Israel's attorney general announced the
00:37:42
indictment Thursday could have been avoided
in this evening we are witnessing an
00:37:47
attempted coup against the prime minister
with false charges and they contaminated
00:37:52
and then Densher this investigation process
Netanyahu has been indicted on charges
00:37:56
of bribery fraud and breach of trust in
3 long running corruption cases he's
00:38:01
seeking to convince his supporters that
the country's entire political system is
00:38:06
affected by corruption and political bias
when it was overthrown if you will invent
00:38:12
I think you need to be blind in order not
to see that something wrong is going on
00:38:16
among the police. Investigators and the
prosecution of Netanyahu support their scam
00:38:20
out to protest the charges following the
announcement that I want to let you look
00:38:24
at the King to tell Netanyahu you will never
March alone and I came to say that all
00:38:28
of the fabricators of this ridiculous and
abominable coup within it won't succeed
00:38:32
you simply won't succeed but many Israelis
say it is time for Netanyahu to resign
00:38:38
it is on the road to this one finger both
the prime minister was continuing with
00:38:43
this while being indicted for 6. Years
of whom he will stand trial for
00:38:50
how he broke the law and also
good. Management countries to
00:38:57
the state of Israel the longest serving
prime minister in Israel's history
00:39:02
Netanyahu has been unable to form
00:39:04
a ruling coalition after 2 back to back
elections this year he's indictment adds to
00:39:10
the concern about the state of the country's
leadership I am very disappointed that
00:39:14
for a whole year we don't have
00:39:15
a government. It's disappointing I don't
know what will be and I can see that it's
00:39:22
not elections will lead to results that
are very different. It's a little bit of
00:39:28
a mess but we'll see this is a
democracy and eventually things have
00:39:32
a nature of our resolve in themselves 1st
this announcement further complicates
00:39:37
he's arounds pattern lies political
system in which neither Netanyahu nor his
00:39:42
closest rival banning guns
has been able to form
00:39:46
a government following Israel's
2nd election in September
00:39:50
a 3rd election could be held
later this year as lot it's
00:39:54
a hoax the oh no swashing done.

U.s.

House of Representatives passed legislation
last week to ban the use of you of shark
00:40:06
fin trade and now awaits final passage
in the Senate the demand for shark fin
00:40:12
incentivizes shark finning the cruel
and wasteful practice of remove. Being
00:40:17
a shark spins at feet and throwing it
back overboard where it drowns starves to
00:40:22
death or is eaten alive
by other fish and just
00:40:25
a rhino an elephant populations have
declined due to the demand from their horns
00:40:29
and tasks the sharks in trade is jeopardizing
the continued survival of many shark
00:40:34
populations Joining us to talk about this
just passed legislation in the House of
00:40:39
Representatives was Whitney Webber campaign
director with Oceana nonprofit ocean
00:40:44
provide protection organization thanks
for being with us so it sounds like the
00:40:48
shark fin trade is moved a step
closer to being banned it is
00:40:52
a major victory basically it gets the u.s.
00:40:55
Out of the shark fin trade and the problem
with this trade is that. The fins from
00:41:02
up to $73000000.00 sharks and up in
this horrific trade every year and is
00:41:09
driving a practice known as sinning which
is the removal of the shark's fin aboard
00:41:14
a vessel and then dumping the rest of
the body back into the ocean so just
00:41:17
retaining the fins which is just decimating
shark populations around the world and
00:41:21
obviously just a cruel and
inhumane practice so the u.s.
00:41:25
Has actually banned finning but unfortunately
we still import and export thins with
00:41:30
other countries many of which do not have
similar protections for sharks in place
00:41:36
and so we end up with you know these fin
fish in our marketplace and are none the
00:41:42
wiser for it so we really want to close
that loophole and just say no to shark fins
00:41:48
are you saying that this is done to
these animals while they're still alive
00:41:52
absolutely yes it's horrible why well the
food is often the most valuable part of
00:41:58
the shark it's used in
a soup it's considered
00:42:01
a delicacy in some countries
we can go for up to $100.00
00:42:05
a ball and so the rest of the shark is often
not as valuable and they want to save
00:42:09
space for the valuable parts so they just
dump the body back into the ocean and
00:42:14
they they die a very slow painful
awful. Death also saw the u.s.
00:42:19
Really needs to be
00:42:20
a leader in this and close our doors to the
to the trade completely We were hoping
00:42:25
to be the 1st g.
00:42:26
20 country to do so Canada beat us to
it earlier this year but when the u.s.
00:42:30
Steps up to lead on issues like this other
countries follow and are really hoping
00:42:34
to make it happen what countries are seeing
the most demand for this product it's
00:42:38
primarily out of Hong Kong China those
areas but again we are still you know
00:42:44
a participant in the fin trade we actually
have 12 states that have banned it at
00:42:49
the state level which is fantastic
but because we don't have
00:42:52
a federal ban the fence can still be shipped
through interstate commerce so we're
00:42:57
we're seeing states like California that
had bans for years but they're still able
00:43:01
to get such shipments of Finn's through
their ports on to other countries or what
00:43:05
have you and so that's problem number one
problem number 2 is that 11 state closes
00:43:11
its door to this marketplace the state
next door typically pops up with
00:43:14
a whole new shocks in market that they
didn't have before so we just need
00:43:18
a blanket federal dam Why do why does the
world need sharks why does it matter that
00:43:23
millions of sharks are on the decline with
sharks are important in their own right
00:43:29
because they've been here before the
dinosaur and we don't want to be at any part
00:43:33
in in their rapid rapid decline which we
are certainly contributing to but they are
00:43:38
also apex predators and so they really are
important for ocean ecosystems in that
00:43:42
they manage the food web so once you take
out an apex predator you just have chaos
00:43:47
and the food chain below you and then
finally you know it is also kind of an
00:43:51
economic argument and we are seeing
states like Florida that have
00:43:55
a huge diving industry that will really be
impacted by lower shark populations and
00:44:01
that we have folks that go out in this
country and just want to see sharks they go
00:44:05
shark diving in Florida alone we actually
looked at this and shark diving not you
00:44:10
know snorkeling or I want to see
00:44:11
a turtle they want to go shark diving those
folks are driving 221 $1000000.00. A
00:44:17
direct expenditures into Florida every
year he talked about the hotel restaurant
00:44:21
and everything in their act well looking
at $377000000.00 when you compare that to
00:44:26
our national export 2016
that number is $850000.00
00:44:33
total for the u.s.
00:44:34
No you've got these people that rely on
going out in the water and seen sharks and
00:44:39
diving with sharks they're really seeing
00:44:42
a significant difference these days than
we used to be seeing in the water here

Next an editorial reflecting the views
of the United States government for more
00:53:56
than half a century since its
founding in 1961 the u.s.
00:54:00
Agency for International Development or USA
id fulfilled its mission by sending to
00:54:05
developing countries material assistance
like food and medicine when u.s.
00:54:10
a Idea was created 3 out of every $4.00
that went from America to the developing
00:54:15
world will government money said USA id
administrator Mark Green these days that
00:54:20
number is less than one out of every
$10.00 global aid needs are many and
00:54:26
government funding will never be enough
said USA id deputy administrator Bonnie
00:54:31
Glick. So we have to work with the
private sector what we can do from
00:54:35
a government perspective is offer seed
capital that then gets catalyzed by
00:54:39
investors said Deputy Administrator Glick
yet there is more to it than just funding
00:54:45
we recognize that we do not have
00:54:46
a monopoly on the good solutions said Miss
Glick there are great solutions that are
00:54:50
generated everywhere on earth Take for
example the 5 year securing water for food
00:54:56
or swith and powering agriculture energy
grand challenges which enrolled 80
00:55:01
innovators from war than 40 countries to
develop more food with less water and use
00:55:06
renewable energy more efficiently the swift
innovators have helped 6300000 farmers
00:55:12
and their families produced nearly
$6000000.00 tons of food they leveraged more
00:55:17
than $20000000.00 in additional funding
through more than $300.00 partnerships
00:55:22
which helped reduce the need for future
donor assistance for these innovations they
00:55:27
have also generated 6 point $5000000.00 in
sales demonstrating profitability demand
00:55:32
in the market and sustainability that was
just the 1st step in late October deputy
00:55:38
administrator Glick announced that us
00:55:40
a id and his partners the Swedish International
Development Cooperation Agency and
00:55:45
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the
Kingdom of the Netherlands will dedicate
00:55:49
$35000000.00 to kick off the water and
energy for food challenge this initiative
00:55:55
a logical experientially of the 2 earlier
challenges will increase the stain of
00:56:00
agriculture food security and climate
resilience in developing countries and
00:56:04
emerging markets it will focus on the
poor and women by investing in small
00:56:09
enterprise we expect that that capital
will increase that will crowd fund and
00:56:14
investment capital in at around $25000000.00
And then in the subsequent years it
00:56:20
will scale up the deputy administrator Glick
we're going to encourage organizations
00:56:25
individuals to submit to us concept
papers about how you would visualize
00:56:30
a solution to the problem that we. Around
the world or in an individual country
